Search Results: kill himself

I met this man at work. He's about 40 years old, but he acts and seems younger in a lot of ways. He has depression, and told me that he tried to kill himself about 8 months ago. We met almost 2 years ago, and he tried to make a move on me back then and I told him I wasn't interested but could be his friend. I thought it would be a casual work friendship, where we'd catch up sometimes over coffee or lunch. But he always invites me to events, and when I say no or don't reply, he texts me something like "if I'm bothering you and you want me to go away, just say so." Or, yesterday, he texted me that he "wasn't doing great and needed someone to talk to", which puts me in a weird position because I can't say no to someone who has been suicidal in the past. This followed an invite to a concert last week that I forgot to reply to. He also gives me gifts and things, and always says "this is for the time you share with me." His dad has cancer and I don't think he has many friends outside of me, so it kind of places a burden on my shoulders. My mom seemed to think he was being very manipulative but part of me thinks that I'm being cruel to someone with a mental illness.

Do you think so? If yes, what should I do? If no, do you think I'm being a bad friend?

with two of the guys I seriously dated, they were very interested in what I was going to do (as in a career)...
so was my husband when I met him. He told me that he had a sister who make 6 figures and was looking for someone who would do the same so he can be a stay at home dad.
(his brother in law killed himself after a couple years of being stay at home dad... so it was a wake up call to him that that wasn't really that ideal)

So I think men care more about how much a girl will eventually make then women do... Just my opinion though. Men are VERY afraid of marrying a gold digger. Women on the other hand don't care as much, because they think they can handle ANYTHING. So a lot of women I know married dead beats who didn't even work, just drinked a ton and did weed, played video games all day. My sister did this, numerous of my co-workers did this, and my close child hood friend did this. Eventually they all divorced their dead beat husbands...
